D e rry, N e m a n County IleprteetiU tiro WHAT BOHTIBES COST Cajreleeeneee to the cause to which more Are dam. age to attributed, than anr other. Fire insurance companies In fixing rates, take into consideration every possible risk. Oraaa fires which have been beyond control recently, have reached such numbers as to give fire department officials cause for concern. While these officials and firemen in general are willing to respond to any alarm, where necessity re quires, they do not think it fair to them, their cm. ployera and to other village residents, that the cost of gasoline, wear and tear on apparatus and use of chemicals, should be Increased through carelessness on the part of some Individual who seeks to burn rubbish. Acknowledging that this means of disposing of trash Is mo6t convenient, firemen assert that if ordinary care is taken, there is no danger of a con flagration. In the first place, they assert that the rubbish should be placed In a bare spot before a fire is started and should not be left to burn out without some one watching it constantly. A piece of flaming paper blown from the fire into the dry grass, per. baps a hundred feet away, is likely to go unobserved. Suddenly there is a blaze, not Intentionally started, sweeping steadily toward some building, and the real fear of fire comes to the mind of the occupant of the house. A little forethought would prevent such an occurance and make it unnecessary to call out the fire apparatus. How many stop to think what a still alarm means t men engaged In various trades stop their work and rush to the assistance qf someone in distress. It asked to leave the Job fqr pleasure they would probably say they couldn't *t that moment. But an alarm removes all thoughts of self. The respond, bare headed and often lightly clothed. They make no complaint when the call is necessary, but they do object when it is learned the fire was due J.o care- lessnessa and could have been prevented. Besides what may be termed unreasonable demand for services, is the cost. It costs money to operate the fire truck to the scene of the lire. It costs money to replenish the chemicals used and it costs money in loss of time—to every employer, whose men respond to the alarm. The general public has to pay higher bills. The public must provide necessities for the fire depart ment and if the apparatus is used frequently it is logical to expect greater expense for upkeep. Insurance rates are based on the frequency of and damage resulted from fires. It is. not necessary that a dwelling shall burn down for the insurance com pany to establish its rate. It fixes that rate through possibilities of fire. If, therefore, grass fires are continually recurring, the Judgment as to fire hazard Is verified and It cannot be expected that rates will be reduced. Fire chiefs 1n Rockville Centre have taken steps to keep the cost at a minimum. They have instructed Captains to make sure qf the need of chemical ex tinguishers before firemen shall be allowed to use them. Careful consideration before starting a bonfire will do more to prevent the spread of flames than anything else. It is bad enough when a fire develops by accident, without inviting dam&ge from flumes. AIL HEMPSTEAD A CITY? Men representing all parts of Nassau County and various shades of public opinion have been consider ing methods of protecting life and property from various forms of lawlessness. After long consider ation and a public hearing the committee has recom- mended the appointment of a Commissioner of Public Safety with power to control the police of the num erous Incorporated villages in the county and such other peace officers as may be available. It Is a step In the direction of the unifying of all the communities In the southern half of Nassau County—perhaps the whole county-—into a city. Watch developments. , Things are likely to move fast, once they get going. It to not a new Idea, the forming of a city in Nassau. It is in line with other similar develop- meats IQ other wettoae adjacent to the metropolis. RECTOR’S BLUE LAW SUNDAY The Rev. Riranj R. Bennett, onetime newswritcr and later preacher at Floral Park. now. using Anbury P»Mk dateline, cajls attention to an addily iu con nection with the proposed bliie law*. It to thin: A man of »4ie cloth who baa a job like the Rev. Hiram's begins work at 7.30 on a bright Huntiuy morning Ho has another service before noun, gets a respite of two to three hours during which he cats some luncheon and answers many telephone cull*, besides doing such odd Jobe us marrying couple#1 a mi giving individual spiritual advice.

M. be gate to thp point of rept or if exhaustion and if ho SUV down to read a bit he runs p gerodstUe new law forbidding anyone to perform any work on the Sabbath day. There's this consolation. Rector: ‘'Every day'll be Sunday by agd bye.\ That idea of « Umw-douk navy tor Uuclc Saw is gpod. Rope we don’t have to wait for eowq other nations to show us What it iwuim to U»vc suit a Ido H under-surface and over-sea fighting craft. Shell wo forget the lessons Theodore Roosevelt taught NEW ESA OT KAIL flUEflCS Tww bronzed young- men. boyl*h almost, teweg aeide their helmet*, fiickbd off bedded' etiltif and morcaelhe and turned to sign reports Wednfeday at Haselhurst Field. They had Je6t made history and shewed hardly aware of it. . Wtthle the few ttlnttUa they had been on the ground th*y had marked a aether epoch In the progress of thto great America. Theec two young pen brought a mews*go ifopi the West to the Beet tor they ware the first to arrive with the all-air traascoptineatal mail. True, malls had been carried by air and by train across t|ic continent for many months but these sturdy young Yank* came in with the first seven mail sacks carried from coast to coast by airplane. They marked aa epoch in making American history. They showed that it was possible, on the initial effort, to send a letter across 3360 miles from flan Fran cisco to New York In lees than 34 hours. As the pioneers onco blazed the overland trail across the continent so do these stalwart Americans show all others the way. They follow In the footsteps of the pony express rider, the stage-coach and the fast mail trains or rather do they outstrip all of these others and beat the bgst effort of all agencies combined by many, many hours. To Pilot Ernest M. Allison go the first honors, since he arrived with the first really transcontinental air mail, and hardly loss creditable ia the feat of Pilot W. C. Hopson who cape in a few minutes later with more of the coast to coast mall. Coupled with these names must go those of the other fliers who through sunshine, rain, snow and sleet and through the darkness of night speeded the messages on their way. It may have been that one time \Bast is east and West is west and never the twain shall meet” but that hardly holds when communication by letter is interrupted by but 33 hours. ONLY SEVEN DAYS MORE! Millions of dollars required to build hospitals for the care of the increasing number of men unfitted for work as a result of wartime experiences. And a perfectly good hospital, just the sort that is needed, throughly equipped and admirably situated, ruthless ly torn down—sunk without trace one might say—by order of the very same government that is now about to rebuild. As Harvey’s Weekly aptly remarks; \Only 7 days more!” WIDEAWAKE VILLAGE GOVERNMENT It is a compliment to the village of Rockville Centre that her neighbor, Hempstead, is considering a propo sition to establish a municipal lighting plant to be run and maintained for th£)henefit of the people, along the lines that have made the South Side village people so well satisfied. Furthermore there is reason for satisfaction in the desire of the Hempstead officials to make use of others experience when it is shown to be for the welfare of* the public. Not along in the matter of lighting, but in various ways the several communities can profit by each other's experiences and until such time as all are united in one greater municipality it will be well for the various village boards to be watching out for just such examples as Rockville Centre's satisfactory light ing business. — 0 ---- DON’T BOTHER THE JJREMEN At recent Hempstead fires, as is frequently the case, not only in Hempstead but in other villages, well meaning but misguided citizens have interfered with the work of the firemen by trying to help. This, as is generally the case, meant getting iu the wqy. Most fire departments have enough members to do the work required. Outside interfcreuce generally iu a hin drance. Many persons, too, are prone to congregate close to the fire, also hindering the firelighters. This might be overcome if the police would proceed immed iately to the scene of a fire when an alarm 18 given and keep back all not displaying a. badge or other mark distinguishing them as firemen. YOU CAN’T DOWN THE TEN COMMANDMENTS Roger Babson, noted business statistician and analyst, says wo owe all our troubles of today to a lack of religion. Prosperity is based, he continues, on those fundamental qualities of faith, temperance, service and thrift which are the products of religion. True as steel. The fundamentals of a state of life that Includes prosperity, are the ten commandments. But let us not forget that the, ten commandments are for everybody. They are not alone for the man who toils with hia hands but for the captain of in dustry as well. The future of American business, the future pros perity of all the people, depends on the integrity of both capital and labor. The laboring man must be honest, must give decent service in his work and he must l>e thrifty. No less must the business man and capitalist be honest, give service and practice thrift. Laziness and extravagance arc sins. So is Greed, but more deadly. WE ARE BECOMING SANE AGAIN “l have worked 12 hours a day for more than 50 years,” said Webster, the great .American statesman. \Work work, work; that is the main thing,” said Lincoln. There is more happiness in work thus iu anything else. Many of us who drudge, drudge away year after year will feel like disputing that statement offhand. But if they will reflect a bit, uud consider just bow they would feel if they had absolutely nothing to do, there are few of them that will not say that without work they would be lost. Kvcn the Bojsheyiki believe in work, only they don’t understuud human nut tiro. Hut now there are signs that people are going to work—are going to put pep, eutltuaiasm and brains iu the things they have to do. That.is vanity and sanity seems to be coming (o America first. pilghU- uess will uot last (erevpr ip Ydropc till her; the turn will vuum sooney or hiit,r. ;iu«l Uv sooner Uir bftftr Official figures show that very few of the foreign born rftddcfrlti of Nassau,County are taking advantage of ibe free e\eking classes where tl$ey may, if they-' will, learn to read and write English rlb<|fll,t.
